Save up those shopping lists and support your community’s public school.Â On Tuesday, September 18, Garrison Elementary and three other schools in DC’s public school system will receive a share of 5% of the day’s net sales at the Whole Foods Market on P Street NW.

That same day, Garrison Elementary’s fourth-and-fifth-grade classes will spend the morning at Whole Foods to learn about organic food and healthy eating. Throughout the field trip, the students will get a tour of the store, compete in an organic scavenger hunt and take part in an “interview” with Whole Foods staff members.

The Whole Foods Market on P Street is open from 8 am until 10:30 pm atÂ 1440 P Street NW.
